Tilda Swinton / The Grand Budapest Hotel
Let’s discuss how the makeup artists achieved Tilda Swinton’s grandmother-like appearance for The Grand Budapest Hotel. The makeup artist, Mark Coulier, has experience changing people’s looks because he has worked on films like Harry Potter. Coulier used a gentle silicone rubber that perfectly matched Swinton’s skin color to make Madame appear like an octogenarian.
And what’s this? They received an Oscar for their outstanding effort! The hairstylist, Frances Hannon, added a great touch by applying the lipstick sloppily as if Madame had done so herself. Tilda Swinton’s remarkable transformation into the elderly Madame showcased the incredible talent of the makeup and hairstyling team. Using silicone rubber and attention to detail earned them the recognition they deserved, even winning an Oscar for their work.
